Huo Liuyin slowly walked to the rest room. The bride-to-be was still combing inside, and Huo Liuyin was about to knock on the door, when a scene suddenly flashed in his mind: the man and woman in the kiss, she was reluctant in every way.....

This scene forced him to withdraw his hand.

Before he turned around to leave, someone came to him with a roar: "Huo Shao, the chairman is looking for you." ＂

Huo Liuyin seemed to be reluctant, thought for a while and said, "Just say that you didn't find me." ＂

As he spoke, he left, but before he could take two steps, he heard the door of the rest room behind him squeak open.

Old Man Huo came out of the rest room with a cane: "Where are you going?" ＂

Huo Liuyin sighed, and no matter how reluctant he was, he could only turn his head: "Grandpa." ＂

"Jinglan is very beautiful today, why don't you go in and have a look? ＂

"Oh? Is it? Huo Liuyin raised his eyebrows, but he didn't mean to go into the rest room to find out.

Old Man Huo looked at his grandson's absent-minded appearance, and his eyebrows narrowed: "I invited them here for you, just to make you completely die of this heart." ＂

Huo Liu was stunned.

Old Man Huo shook his head in disappointment: "There are many women in the world, I see that Liang Qian also has two eyes and a nose, even if she is special in your eyes, she is also someone else's wife, what is worth thinking about until now?" ＂

Even he can see his heart? How failed was his disguise and the constant self-suggestion for the past two years......

Huo Liuyin smiled dismally.

Old Man Huo was stunned for a moment, was silent for a while, and his tone had to be softened: "Liuyin, you have clearly known what you want since you were a child, and you also know how to achieve your own goals, you should understand what is best for you, don't lose your sanity for decades for a woman." ＂

His father's words were reasonable, and Huo Liuyin finally shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Maybe I just want to taste why people are completely out of control once, or maybe...... ＂

Or maybe he just wants to fight for what he really wants, not for the responsibilities and preferences that are imposed on him......

Old Man Huo's secretary was looking for him from the other side, looking at his own son-in-law standing there with an expressionless face, he didn't know whether to disturb for a while, hesitated for a moment, and finally reminded Old Man Huo: "Chairman, Minister Li has arrived." ＂

Old Man Huo nodded and said to Huo Liuyin, "I'll go to greet the guests, you go in and see Jinglan." After speaking, he was not in a hurry to leave, but motioned to the secretary to open the door of the rest room, and watched Huo Liuyin walk into the rest room, and Huo Liuyin then left.

In the huge rest room, the makeup artist was cleaning up the makeup, and the close friends of the bride-to-be were frolicking around the dressing table, and one of them raised his head and immediately reminded the young woman sitting on the makeup stool with a smile: "Lin Jinglan, your man is here!" ＂

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the door, and the makeup artist bowed slightly: "Mr. Huo." ＂

Huo Liuyin smiled at him, and then

Walk straight to the dresser.

This young woman who was called Lin Jinglan looked a little cold even when she smiled at him at this moment. From a certain angle, it looks like a person.

He could finally put this ridiculous self-deception behind him......

"Can I talk to her alone? ＂

Hearing Huo Liuyin say this, everyone looked at each other for a while, and then looked at Lin Jinglan before leaving. Leave the lovers alone.

It should be considered a lover, right? Watching movies every Saturday, volunteering with her at nursing homes or orphanages on weekends, having dinner twice a week, and calling each other if something is delayed...... In the year of dating, the time spent alone by the two was always organized to the point that there was no trace of human touch.

He appreciates her ambition to become a businessman, and she is eager to have HC as an excellent platform to develop her career. This kind of political and business marriage means that each takes what he needs.

After being silent for a long time, Huo Liuyin suddenly said, "Do you remember you once asked me why I have so many pairs of high heels in my collection?" ＂

"Why do you say this all of a sudden? ＂

＂...... Huo Liuyin smiled, "Those are the works of an independent designer in New York. Each pair of shoes is engraved with the designer's floral signature, Chinese name, Liang Qian. ＂

Lin Jinglan's face was slightly stunned.

Liang Qian......

The only object of scandal for this man who has never been alone.

"New York...... "What a distant memory.

"I also learned later that she was sent abroad by her family to study finance, but she didn't work properly and changed her to design. ＂

＂...... ＂

"You should also know that my grandmother has lived in New York all these years. ＂

Lin Jinglan nodded, her expression was not very good-looking.

"Because of this, I often fly on both sides. At that time, she must have changed her studies to design, and the store she had opened with a friend was on the verge of closing. I found her because she was negotiating terms with the landlord outside the store to avoid being kicked out. It was interesting to ask in English and secretly scold in Chinese. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop to enjoy it at the time, and it was only after I returned to China that I happened to remember that I asked my grandmother's maid to buy a pair of shoes for me with the mentality of giving it a try. I gave those shoes to my grandmother. ＂

＂...... ＂

What kind of memories made him smile?

Lin Jinglan lowered her gaze slightly, a little unsure how to face this man's unprecedented ...... Immersive, warm look.

"It's a pity that my grandmother didn't wear those shoes once. It is conceivable that her level back then was not high. ＂

"Every month after that, I would ask my grandmother's maid to go there for me. Each pair of shoes comes with a handwritten letter from her, and in addition to her usual thanks, she occasionally writes about her current situation and dreams. I've only seen her once, but I already know her. ＂

＂......

＂

Even I could see that her designs were getting better and better, but a year later, she told me in the thank you card that she and her friends were planning to close the store. ＂

＂...... ＂

"It wasn't until she begged me for Yayan to enter HC Plaza that I knew that she had repeated my mistake and gave up herself for the sake of her family business. ＂

＂...... ＂

"Sometimes there is a fine line between pity and love. ＂

Lin Jinglan tried to smile, but the corners of her mouth stiffened.

Huo Liuyin smiled, relieved: "Lin Jinglan, I think you have to think about it carefully, is a man like me really worth entrusting you with for life?" ＂

……

……

The engagement ceremony began, and Huo Liuyin, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked to the main table under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.

The master of ceremonies' voice sounded again: "Miss Lin is invited to enter below." ＂

No one responded.

The master of ceremonies couldn't help but raise his voice: "Welcome Miss Lin!" ”

When the master of ceremonies' words repeated for the third time sounded in the air above the venue, the audience suddenly fell into a scene of waiters looking at each other and guests whispering, and Huo Liuyin immediately stood up.

The bride-to-be has run away from marriage......

As soon as the news came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Pei Yibai sat in place, no matter how chaotic the field was, it would not affect his cold eyes at all. The seat next to him remained empty until Huo Liuyin and his in-laws left anxiously, and at the same time, Pei Yibai's gaze wandered from the vacant seat next to him to the expressionless man on the stage.

The groom-to-be on the stage didn't seem surprised by the bride-to-be's unprovoked departure, but his eyes were fixed on the empty seat next to Pei Yibai.

It's cold and cold.

Liang Qian, who left the HC Hotel early, did not return overnight again.

In the early hours of the morning, Liang Qian took a bath and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

She had been in it for too long, and the man had fallen asleep.

Liang Qian sat on the edge of the bed, unceremoniously reached out and patted the man's face twice, but he still didn't wake up. The man had bronzed skin, was the DJ at the speakeasy she frequented lately, with beautiful fingers and a soulful smile. Now that he is looking closely at his sleeping face, Liang Qian only feels that this face is very unfamiliar.

Suddenly, a hint of fear rose up.

The presidential suite, with its round bed, is messy. Liang Qian got up, found his clothes and changed them in the mess, took out his wallet from his bag, and took out a small stack of banknotes and put them on the bedside table.

The silver goods were sold twice, and after a night, strangers.

Walking to the door of the suite, he was about to open the door, Liang Qian saw himself in the dressing mirror opposite, and couldn't help but stop.

The woman in the mirror is beautiful and soulless.

A pair of eyes are very hollow.

When I got home, it was early in the morning.

She drove back, and as soon as she was halfway into the garage, the servant had already hurried to her car and told her, "Madam, Sir is waiting for you in the living room." ”

"Got it

。 ”

Liang Qian parked the car, went upstairs directly from the external stairs in the garage, and went back to his room to sleep.

Sleeping in a daze, the mobile phone began to vibrate, Liang Qian fumbled and took the mobile phone, it was a string of text messages from an unfamiliar number.

"I'm a big man, no matter what, I won't ask for a woman's money, not to mention that we haven't done anything."

Liang Qian carefully recalled when she left the contact information to the other party, and she didn't have a clue yet, when she suddenly heard the sound of turning the doorknob, she reflexively threw the phone back on the bedside table and closed her eyes.

There was footsteps approaching.

Feeling that the thin blanket on his body was lifted, and one side of the bed sank slightly, Liang Qian was very annoyed, turned over in a muffled voice, and went to sleep on the other side of the bed. Pei Yibai, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at the depression on the sheet that she had just slept on, and her palm was covered with it, and she could still feel the remaining beams she left.

He turned his head to look at the antique table clock in the corner—two o'clock in the morning.

It's been nearly ten hours since that farce at the engagement feast......

Pei Yibai leaned over and re-covered her with a thin blanket. And at this moment, he saw the clear kiss marks on the woman's white side neck......

Liang Qian was pulled up by the angry man's hair.

She screamed in pain and grabbed the man's wrist, but he threw it backhand, and the whole person couldn't help but stumble backwards, the lamp was knocked down, and the light in the room suddenly became messy.

Under the mottled and scattered light and shadow, Liang Qian vaguely saw that his slap was about to fall on her, but he stopped halfway, as if he had regained his senses at that moment, and after a pause, he almost gently hooked Liang Qian's chin: "Where are you tonight?" I don't know if I'll come back after washing it. ”

He didn't say a word about her early departure at the engagement banquet, at this moment, his movements were intimate and his voice was restrained, this change was too fast, Liang Qian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed provocatively: "I'm tired, please go out." ”

"Get out?" He snorted coldly, and while examining her condescendingly, his hands moved meaningfully to her chest—

With a "bang", Liang Qian's collar was torn open.

Liang Qian tried his best to catch his hand, but in vain, the man easily lifted her upper body and pressed her back to the bed.

He seemed to strangle her, but he controlled the strength and only forced her to turn her face sideways, exposing the side of her neck, and he, without hesitation, leaned over and bit as soon as he opened his mouth.

Cover the kiss marks there in a savage way.
